As part of Emory & Henry's mission to integrate education with service and citizenship, the Appalachian Center for Civic Life exists to help individuals and student groups with short-term and extended service activities, while establishing service partnerships between the college and communities, rural and urban, from Southwest Virginia to Dublin, Ireland. The Center is not just about volunteerism; it's about creating positive social change and dealing with root causes of social inequities.
